Free Salary Employee

Muslim Murasu, June 2011

Efficient functioning of the government is dependent on the competence of its employees. Thousand candidates compete for a single post when applications are invited for a government job. Youngsters are ready to give even three lakh rupees as bribe. Permanent monthly salary has caught everyone's attention and imagination.
Work done in a week should be attached along with the salary slip. Salary should not be given for those days where no work is done. Chennai has become an intensely active global commercial city. Every day new entrants with global reputation are landing and gaining ground here. Its growth and development is there for everyone to see. The quality, standard and efficiency seen in private firms should reflect and be sustained in government firms and offices too. This is imperative in this era. But it is not possible to maintain multinational standards with defunct, unskilled labor. Private firms are reduced to seek mercy from government officers for electricity, transport, land, registration, drinking water supply and sanitation. Incompetent government employees should be shown the door in a staggered manner. There is no other way. Weekly salary should be deducted from those employees who are sluggish and inactive and don’t provide the requested details and are unable to serve. They should not be given full salary.
Government staff who own additional house, land and benami properties can be dismissed. Internet can be leveraged to publish property, land, jewel, savings of employees and his dependents. Employees who do not share these details or provide wrong details should be dismissed and also final settlements should be made to them once and for all. 80 lakh Tamilans are waiting in the employment offices. It is impossible to serve people without monitoring salary and additional properties with government staff. However high be the budget amount, there won’t be any use with incompetent and awfully corrupt staff. It is high time to start weeding out. Else government will not be able to earn good reputation.
